Introduction
Welcome to the dangerous and challenging world of bomb defusing.
Study this manual carefully; you are the expert. In these pages you will find
everything you need to know to defuse even the most insidious of bombs.
And remember — One small oversight and it could all be over!

Defusing Bombs
Defusing Bombs
A bomb will explode when its countdown timer reaches 0:00 or when too many
strikes have been recorded. The only way to defuse a bomb is to disarm all of its
modules before its countdown timer expires.
Example Bomb
Front
Side
Modules
Each bomb will include up to 11 modules that must be disarmed. Each module is
discrete and can be disarmed in any order.
Instructions for disarming modules can be found in Section 1. "Needy" modules
present a special case and are described in Section 2.
Strikes
When the Defuser makes a mistake the bomb will record a strike
which will be displayed on the indicator above the countdown
timer. Bombs with a strike indicator will explode upon the third
strike. The timer will begin to count down faster after a strike
has been recorded.
Strike
Indicator
If no strike indicator is present above the countdown timer, the
bomb will explode upon the first strike, leaving no room for error.
Gathering Information
Some disarming instructions will require specific information about the bomb,
such as the serial number. This type of information can typically be found on
the top, bottom, or sides of the bomb casing. See Appendix A, B, and C for
identification instructions that will be useful in disarming certain modules.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes v. 1
Section 1: Modules
Modules can be identified by an LED in the top right corner.
When this LED is lit green the module has been disarmed.
All modules must be disarmed to defuse the bomb.

Wires
On the Subject of Wires
Wires are the lifeblood of electronics! Wait, no, electricity is the lifeblood.
Wires are more like the arteries. The veins? No matter…
A wire module can have 3-6 wires on it.
Only the one correct wire needs to be cut to disarm the
module.
Wire ordering begins with the first on the top.
3 wires:
If there are no red wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is white, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one blue wire, cut the last blue wire.
Otherwise, cut the last wire.
4 wires:
If there is more than one red wire and the last digit of the serial number is
odd, cut the last red wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is yellow and there are no red wires, cut the first
wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one blue wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one yellow wire, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, cut the second wire.
5 wires:
If the last wire is black and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the
fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one red wire and there is more than one yellow
wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there are no black wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, cut the first wire.
6 wires:
If there are no yellow wires and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut
the third wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one yellow wire and there is more than one
white wire, cut the fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there are no red wires, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, cut the fourth wire.

The Button
On the Subject of The Button
You might think that a button telling you to press it is pretty straightforward.
That’s the kind of thinking that gets people exploded.
See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
Follow these rules in the order they are listed. Perform the
first action that applies:
1. If the button is blue and the button says "Abort", hold the button and refer
to "Releasing a Held Button".
2. If there is more than 1 battery on the bomb and the button says "Detonate",
press and immediately release the button.
3. If the button is white and there is a lit indicator with label CAR, hold the
button and refer to "Releasing a Held Button".
4. If there are more than 2 batteries on the bomb and there is a lit indicator
with label FRK, press and immediately release the button.
5. If the button is yellow, hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held
Button".
6. If the button is red and the button says "Hold", press and immediately
release the button.
7. If none of the above apply, hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held
Button".
Releasing a Held Button
If you start holding the button down, a colored strip will light up on the right
side of the module. Based on its color you must release the button at a specific
point in time:
Blue strip: release when the countdown timer has a 4 in any position.
White strip: release when the countdown timer has a 1 in any position.
Yellow strip: release when the countdown timer has a 5 in any position.
Any other color strip: release when the countdown timer has a 1 in any
position.

to do about it! Maybe too concise...
Look at each wire: there is an LED above the wire and a
space for a "★" symbol below the wire.

Wire Sequences
On the Subject of Wire Sequences
It's hard to say how this mechanism works. The engineering is pretty impressive,
but there must have been an easier way to manage nine wires.
Within this module there are several panels with wires
on them, but only one panel is visible at a time. Switch
to the next panel by using the down button and the
previous panel by using the up button.
Do not switch to the next panel until you are sure that you have cut all
necessary wires on the current panel.
Cut the wires as directed by the following table. Wire occurrences are
cumulative over all panels within the module.

Gridlock
On the Subject of Gridlock
Even a traffic jam isn’t this stop and go.
A four by four grid is shown, with squares marked with
colors and/or shapes.
The starting position is the square marked with a star.
Using the first table on the next page, find the
direction indicated by the star and the color of that square.
The next position is the square 1 space in the direction indicated by the
table lookup.
Press the NEXT button. This will change the information displayed on the
module.
Continue finding positions using the following rules:
If the current square on the module has an arrow, move in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
If the current square is colored, use the first table to look up the
direction to move based on the symbol and color in the square, and
press the NEXT button.
If the current square on the module is blank, find the table marked
with the same color as the last colored square used, and move in the
direction indicated based on the current position.
If at any point, a movement would result in landing on a previously
occupied position, continue in the same direction until you land on an asyet unused position.
The grid loops around, such that an upward movement from the top row will
move to the bottom row of the same column, and likewise for left/right
movement off the grid, or diagonal movement off the grid (for example,
moving north-east from A1 leads to B4.)
At some point, an instruction will result in a gridlock, where all possible
positions valid to move to have already been used.
The square that gave that movement is the solution. Hitting that square on
the grid will disarm the module.
Hitting any other square in the grid will result in a strike and the module
returning to its initial state.
The page number in the bottom-right of the module displays which set of
symbols the module is currently showing. In some cases it may be necessary
to loop back to the first page while solving the module.

Big Circle
On the Subject of The Big Circle
Who said that a circle was pointless?
The bomb presents a button in the shape of a big circle
spinning around. Based on the tables below, determine which
parts of the circle to press. If you press a wrong part of the
circle or press the parts of a circle in the wrong order, a
strike will be incurred.
Start with Table 1 below. Determine which rules apply to nd the next
number to be used. If your number is negative, multiply it by -1.
Count the position in the serial number as many times as your number. If
you get to the end of the serial number, bounce back and continue to read
the serial number backwards, and vice versa at the beginning. The rst
character of the serial number is considered to be position 0.
After you have determined the position in the serial number, look at Table 2
below to determine the sequence of button presses based on the chosen
character in the serial number and press it.
Once the rst correct color has been pressed, The solution will not change
unless you incur a strike on this module.
BUT, if there are ve batteries in three holders and at least one BOB
indicator, Any solution that would be valid for the serial number
characters present on the bomb will be accepted. Look at table 2 to nd out
what those solutions are.

Morse-A-Maze
On the Subject of Morse-A-Maze
It is AMazing that the status light got a life of its own.
Decode the Morse code from the blinking status light. Off
state is green, On state is red.**
The first thing transmitted is the word used to find the
maze.
The second thing transmitted is the coordinates the
status light needs to be placed on. Coordinates are a letter from A–F,
representing columns, followed by a number from 1–6, representing rows. The
upper left is A1.
If the word is listed in Table 1, use the corresponding information in the
table to determine which maze to look up. If the number you get is greater
than 18, keep subtracting 18 until you are in the range of 0–17.
Otherwise, look up the word in Tables 2 and 3.
Warning: Do not cross the lines shown in the maze. These lines are invisible
on the bomb.
If there is an unlit BOB indicator and 4 batteries in 3 holders in the
configuration of 2×AA and 2×D, Bob will actively prevent you from earning any

Colored Switches
On the Subject of Colored Switches
It’s only five switches. How hard can it be?
The module has five switches on it. Each switch may be
orange, green, purple, turquoise, blue, or red.
The diagram below indicates which switch transitions
are safe. A switch can be toggled only if it has the same
color as the relevant arrow in the diagram. A black,
thicker line indicates this switch can be toggled regardless of its color.
The numbers indicate the switch being toggled (numbered from left to
right).
To defuse the module, first make any three permissible toggles. Then the
LEDs below the switches come on. The switches must be brought into the
position indicated by those LEDs.

S.E.T.
On the Subject of S.E.T.
Modules based on card games seem to be a thing now.
The module presents a keypad with mysterious symbols.
A S.E.T. (Strangely Elusive Triplet) is a set of three
symbols that satisfies all four of the following
conditions:
The symbols have the same shading or all different
shadings (filled, wavy-patterned and empty).
The symbols have the same quantity of dots or all different quantities
of dots (0, 1 and 2).
The symbols can be found in all the same row or all different rows in
Table 1.
The symbols can be found in all the same column or all different
columns in Table 1.
The symbols on the keypad contain a single S.E.T. consisting of three
symbols. Press those symbols (in no particular order).

Color Generator
On the Subject of Color Generator
Who thought of making a module that takes 5 minutes to input?
Start with the serial number. Convert every letter to
a number (A=1). Include the digits.
For each result, modulo the result by 16.
Make 3 groups of 2 with the results. (1 2 3 4 5 6 = 12 34 56 || 14 5
6 11 7 8 = 145 611 78). The first pair is the red value, second pair
is the green value, and third pair is the blue value.
Take the first number on each pair, multiply it by 16, then add the
second number on each pair. (12 = 18 || 35 = 53)
Press the correct value in the buttons, and press submit. If you
submit an incorrect color, the module state will reset and you will
receive a strike.

The multiplier value has a default value of 1. When it is clicked,
the multiplier cycles around 1, 10 and 100. When you click the
colored buttons, that color's value is added by the multiplier.

Painting
On the Subject of Painting
"I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with
a two-inch brush."
After all that hard work defusing bombs, BOB wanted some
time to relax and express his creativity. He didn’t take his
color blindness into account however, so he is going to need
some help.
First off, determine the type of color blindness that BOB has.
Take the rst rule that applies*:
If the total amount of batteries + indicators + ports + 2 is equal to the
amount of characters in the name of one of the color blindness types, use
that color blindness type.
Otherwise, determine the highest scoring color blindness type based on the
number of occurrences of characters that correspond with the distinct set
of letters of all indicator labels (lit or unlit). If there is a tie for the
top-most score, move on to the next rule. (e.g. MSA + NSA results in the
distinct letter set of {A, M, N, S}; this example set against ‘Tritanopia’
would result in a score of 3 (2xA + 1xN)).
Otherwise, use the Protanomaly ruleset.
Now swap all colors with their respective colors in the table below. Do this by
selecting a color rst, then select a eld to paint in that color. A wrong color,
or painting over a correct color will incur a strike. Also, don’t repaint over a
eld you have already correctly painted in. This will also incur a strike.
Protanomaly
Deuteranomaly
Tritanopia
Black → Red
Red → Green
Blue ⇄ Gray
Brown → Green
Blue → Pink
Purple ⇄ Black
Orange → Red
Green ⇄ Yellow
Green → Blue
Blue → Red
Pink → Gray
Orange ⇄ Red
Green → Orange
Purple ⇄ Brown
Purple ⇄ Pink
*: BUT, if you have exactly 2 DVI-D, 1 RJ45 and a lit CLR, BOB would like you to
express your own creativity, and change every eld into another color of
choice.

Symbol Cycle
On the Subject of Symbol Cycles
Have you ever stared at the logo on the screensaver and hoped that it would
bounce exactly into a corner?
The module has two screens showing symbols, a switch
above, and a number display at the bottom.
The screens change in synchrony, but at different
cycles. Each screen may cycle between two, three, four, or five symbols. (Do
not tap the screens at this point as doing so will give a strike.)
The number display at the bottom shows the current cycle number, which
steadily increases.
When you are ready, flip the switch. The screens stop cycling, show two
random symbols, and the number display changes to a random number.
The module now transitions into either the retrotransphasic or the
anterodiametric state. Solve this state as described below.
Retrotransphasic state
In this state, tapping the screens changes their symbols.
Change the symbols to whatever they would be at the cycle whose number
is shown in the display.
Note that the order in which the symbols cycle when tapping the
screens may not be the same as the order in which they cycled earlier.
They may even include extra decoy symbols now.
Anterodiametric state
In this state, tapping the screens changes the number display. One of
the screens increments the number, one decrements it.
Change the display to the number of any cycle in which the symbols
would be as shown in the screens.
When you are done, flip the switch back up to submit your answer. If it is
wrong, the module resets with new symbols and potentially transitions into
a different state.

Above that, it shows the amount the customer paid.
CLEAR SUBMIT
Add up the amount of money it costs for all the items,
applying the sale to each item based on the day of the

Weighted items must have their weight applied before applying the sale.
If the customer has paid enough money, simply input the correct amount of
change the customer should receive using the buttons on the module and
then press submit.
Otherwise if the customer hasn’t paid enough, press submit without any
change to alert the customer. Wait for the new amount of money from the
customer and then 韀�gure out how much change to give.
After pressing the submit button, the change will be cleared.
Glossary
Item price refers to the price before the sale has been applied.
Fixed price items don’t have their prices change based on their weight.
A digital root is calculated by adding all the digits of a number together
and repeating the process on the new number until you have a single digit.
Commercial rounding is when the digit checked for rounding is 5 or
greater, the number is rounded up, otherwise you round down.

In each later stage, an additional pair of row and column pictograms is
displayed to indicate another decoy in addition to the earlier grid entries. In
the last stage there will be four grid entries to reference in total.
To progress to the next stage, press any button not labeled with a decoy. The
module is disarmed after the fourth stage is complete. Pressing a button labeled
with a decoy resets the module.
If the current stage's column pictogram appears to the left of the row pictogram,

Curriculum
On the Subject of Curriculum
I want to major in anything that takes this combination of classes together.
You have been lazy through your summer vacation, so
taking classes quickly became a matter of life and death
- literally.
On the bomb there is a grid for your schedule, buttons
for the five classes you have to take, and a SUBMIT
button.
The class pairs (shown as columns in the next table) are always on the same
button.
However, the locations of the buttons are randomized. You should use the
first letter of each class to determine which button is which.
There is only one class you should be taking in each pair, decided by the
following table. (If the character is a letter, simply convert it to its
numeric value, A=1, B=2 etc.)
Classes you should take
Serial

Now that you know which classes to take, you should decide which section of
that class you should take.
Each class has 3 different sections that are available, each of which has 23 lectures throughout the week. Each lecture is shown as a white cell on the
grid.
Whenever sections of two different classes try to have a lecture on the same
slot, it will result in a conflict. These will show up on your schedule
marked as red.
By default, a proper schedule that you can submit should have zero
conflicts.
There are also special conditions, and only one of them is effective for
your module.
Follow the table on the next page to find which condition suits your bomb.
Start from the top and whenever you find a fitting condition, stop. Your
schedule should accomodate the effects of that condition.

schedule can have 1 conflict. CAUTION: Lectures on the conditionally
affected hours are not considered conflicts and should be empty
regardless of your BOOKWORM situation.
There may be more than one correct schedule.
When you decide you have taken the correct sections of the correct classes,
press the SUBMIT button.
You will get a strike if
your classes don't match required classes,
your schedule doesn't follow the effective condition, or

Move your finger over the module to feel the Braille message. The message
consists of 4 Braille letters with 6 locations. However, some of the raised
dots may be extraneous and some may be missing.
The locations are numbered in columns from top to bottom, then left to right.
To find out which locations are wrong, first convert the letters in the serial
number to their alphabetic positions (where A=1, …, Z=26).
Start with the location numbered according to the first character of the
serial number plus one.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod
Braille
For each subsequent character in the serial number, move forward that many
locations plus one.
Wherever you land each time, change a raised dot to an absent one and vice
versa.
If you go past the end of the message, wrap around to the beginning. (At times
you may find yourself inverting the same location multiple times.)
Finally, decode the word, find it in the following table and press on the

On the Subject of Mafia
Godfather is him, Mafia is her, kill them, save them. I’m innocent! ….AHHHHH!
In this module, there are 8 named people that sit around a
gallows. It’s your job to deduce who is the Godfather, whom
you then have to execute. To figure out who is the Godfather,
follow the following instructions:
Take all the values of the serial number, changing letters into numbers by
their placement in the alphabet (A=1, B=2 etc.), and add them together.
Starting from the top of the list below, count this many names. Then keep
going until you get to a name that’s on the module. If you go past #50, loop
back around to #1.
Rule out people by crossing off the name from the previous step and going
around the circle by skipping people equal to the last number of the serial.
Go clockwise if you have less than 2 indicators and counter-clockwise
otherwise.
Continue around the circle, skipping over people you have ruled out, until
you have one person left.
Find the name that’s left in the table and look at their “Innocence
Condition”. If they do not meet the condition, they are the Godfather and
should be executed. If they are found innocent, execute the person referred
to in the “Otherwise” column.

ENT
Enter a 4-digit code using the numbered buttons.
Press the green button labelled ENT to submit the entered code.
Press the red button labelled CLR to discard the entered code.
Perform the first action that applies on each level.
The CLR and ENT buttons' colors are to be ignored.
Using the wheel chart, starting from the center, pick a path by following the
instructions below for each level you are on. (center level is 1, next one out is
2, etc.) Each path you take is the code digit corresponding to its level number
unless contradicted by higher levels' instructions. Follow the final
instructions after you complete all four levels.
On the first level, the paths are in order from the upper-right corner going
clockwise. On the rest of the levels, they are also in clockwise order.
Level 1:
If three or more of the numbered buttons are colored yellow, take the first path.
If the all three of the numbered buttons 4, 5, and 6 are colored white, blue, or
red, take the second path.
If the serial number contains a vowel, take the third path.
Otherwise, take the fourth path.
Level 2:
If there are at least two blue numbered buttons and at least three green buttons,
take the first path.
If the numbered button 5 isn't blue nor white, take the second path.
If there are less than two ports on the bomb, take the third path.
Otherwise, take the fourth path, and if the top row of buttons contains a green
button, subtract 1 from the first digit (if it's 0, it becomes 9).
Level 3:
If there are more than two white numbered buttons and more than two yellow
numbered buttons, take the first path.
Otherwise, take the second path and reverse the current 3-digit code.
Level 4:
If there are 2 or less yellow numbered buttons, take the first path and add 1 to
each digit (if a digit is 9, it becomes 0).
Otherwise, take the second path.

Final Instructions:
(follow all instructions in this order)
If the last digit of the serial number is even, swap the first and third digits.
If there are an odd number of batteries, swap the second and third digits.
If both criteria above are not met, swap the first and fourth digits.
Finally, if the sum of all the digits in the code is even, reverse the code.

Translated Modules: Getting rid of pages
On the Subject of Translated Modules
Unfortunately, the game's pdf creation routine can't filter the manual pages for
the "Translated Modules Mod" by the set language. Putting the pages for all
languages in here would blow up this document (we have 80+ pages).
To get the manual you have two options:
1. For a fan translation of the complete manual with the translated module
pages integrated have a look at the mod's description page
(http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=850186070) or at
your mod's manual folder (see below) and open
TranslatedModulesComplete(YourLanguage).pdf.
2. To integrate only the pages for the modified modules right here, navigate
to the mod's manual folder (usually at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
\steamapps\workshop\content\341800\850186070\Manual") and copy
"TranslatedModules(YourLanguage).pdf" from the "CopyManualFromHere" to
the "Modules" folder.
And don't forget to set the mod's language before playing:
1. Start the game with mods enabled
2. Click “Menu” => “Show Mod Settings Folder”
3. Open “TranslatedModules-settings.txt”
4. Jump to the line "CurrentLanguages": ["de"]
5. Replace “de” with the identifier for your language (you’ll find all
available identifiers in that file)
6. Quit and restart the game!

Flags
<Flag>
I hope you're good at geography as this is a flag quiz that doesn't make any sense!
The module consists of a screen with a main flag, a screen
with 7 flags that can be navigated using the left and right
buttons, and a screen displaying a number between 1 and 7.
<#>
<Flags>
◄ SUBMIT ►
Submitting a wrong flag will incur a strike. Submitting the
correct flag will disarm the module.
First, sort the 7 flags by applying the first rule that follows its condition:
If the main country is in North America, and there are no lit indicators,
sort the 7 flags by their country name in alphabetical order.
Otherwise, if the main country's dial code is higher than 100, and there is
an RJ-45 port, sort the 7 flags by their dial code in numerical order.
Otherwise, if the main country's name contains the last letter of its
currency, sort the 7 flags by their ISO code in alphabetical order.
Otherwise, if the main country's capital has more than 9 letters, sort the 7
flags by their capital in alphabetical order.
Otherwise, if the main country is in Europe, and its currency is not EUR,
sort the 7 flags by their continent in alphabetical order.
Otherwise, if there is a country in the 7 flags with the same continent as
the main country's, sort the 7 flags by their currency in alphabetical
order.
Otherwise, sort the 7 flags by their country name in alphabetical order.
If there are any flags that have the same information, sort the flags with
duplicate information by their country name in alphabetical order.
A number will be displayed at the top right. After sorting the flags, submit the
flag in the position of the displayed number in your sorted list of flags.
BUT if there is an unlit BOB indicator, and the serial number contains any
character from the phrase "WHITE FLAG" while France is in the 7 flags, ignore all
above instructions and simply submit the flag of France.
Use the table in the next pages to get information about flags and countries.

Polyhedral Maze
On the Subject of Polyhedral Mazes
What’s a pentecostal hexadecimal contradiction?
Identify the polyhedron[1] on the module and find its
corresponding net[2] below.
The number in the bottom-left of the module shows the
current face on the polyhedron. The number in the bottomright shows the destination face that must be reached to defuse the module.
Navigate to the destination face without crossing any of the thick lines. These
are not visible on the module. The letters and the curved lines indicate faces
that are connected even though they are not adjacent in the net.

START!
See Appendix SN72 for a phonetic guide to each sound.
See Appendix SN73 for image references.
The module consists of a television screen with an on (top)
and off (bottom) button, four "TV monitor" buttons and a Start button.
To disarm the module, you will need to progress through three levels of play,
identifying the correct TV monitor to press in response to the given picture.
Each TV monitor will play a sound. You may listen to the sounds as many times as
you like prior to starting the game.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU IDENTIFY THE SOUNDS BEFORE PRESSING THE START BUTTON:
ONCE THE GAME HAS BEEN STARTED, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PLAY THEM.
Pressing the incorrect TV monitor will result in the module being reset and new
sounds being generated.
Once you are sure of the sounds, press the Start button to begin and refer to the
tables below. It is advised that the television screen is switched on.
To use the tables, identify which picture has been displayed and work from left
to right. If the condition at the top of the table is met, press the relevant TV

Blind Maze
On the Subject of Blind Maze
Not only do you have to find the exit, you have to find the beginning!
This module has four buttons labeled N for North, E for East,
S for South, and W for West. The defuser must use these
buttons to navigate through a maze they cannot see. Use the
following steps to discover what the maze looks like, where
you are in the maze, and which side of the maze the exit is on.
Step 1: Finding the Maze
Take the last digit of the serial number and add the number of solved
modules.
If the number is above nine, subtract 10 until it is between 0 and 9.
Locate the maze below with the same number as the result. This is your maze,
but it may be rotated.

Blind Maze
Step 2: Finding the Rotation
Use the first conditional that applies out of the following list to determine
what rotation the maze has.
If there are at least 2 red buttons, rotate the maze 90 degrees clockwise,
then calculate the starting position.
Otherwise, if there are at least 5 batteries, calculate the starting
position, then rotate the maze 90 degrees clockwise.
Otherwise, if there is an IND indicator, rotate the maze 180 degrees
clockwise, then calculate the starting position.
Otherwise, if there are no yellow buttons and at least 1 red button, rotate
the maze 90 degrees counter-clockwise, then calculate the starting
position.
Otherwise, if there is at least 1 module with “Maze” in its name other than
“Blind Maze”, calculate the starting position, then rotate the maze 180
degrees clockwise.
Otherwise, if there is at most 1 port type, calculate the starting position,
then rotate the maze 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
Otherwise, keep the maze as it is.
Step 3: Finding the Starting Location
Look at each button and use the table below to determine it's value. Then, use
these rules to determine the starting location in the maze:
X Position: Add the values of the North and South buttons together.
Y Position: Add the values of the East and West buttons together.
If the sum is above 5, subtract 5 until the number is between 1 and 5.
Column X moves from left to right and Row Y moves from top to bottom. The
top left coordinate of the maze is [1,1].

counter, and a submit button. However, the backing may be a
certain color. Based on the color of the backing and the color
of the button, press the button until the counter matches a certain number and
press submit.
Step 1:
Use the rules in Table B to determine your letter pair, finding the first two
conditions that apply, using the first letter from the first rule and the second
letter from the second rule.
Step 2:
With the letter pair found in Step 1 and Table A, use the first letter along the
left and the second letter along the top to find the number of times to press the
button before pressing submit.

Faulty Backgrounds
On the Subject of Faulty Backgrounds
I don’t know if this counts as faulty... or just plain mean.
This module at first looks like a Backgrounds module, except
there are two ‘Push Me’ buttons. One of them is the correct
color, the other is not. Follow the rules below to determine
which button is correct.
1. If one of the buttons does not affect the counter, that button is fake.
2. Otherwise, if one of the buttons matches the color of the background, the
button that doesn’t match is a fake.
3. Otherwise, if one of the buttons says “BUSH ME!” the left button is a fake.
4. Otherwise, if one of the buttons says “PUSH NE!” the right button is a fake.
5. Otherwise, if one of the buttons says “PUSH HE!” that button is a fake.
6. Otherwise, if one of the buttons says “PUSH SHE!” the other button is fake.
7. Otherwise, if all the even digits of the counter don’t show up, the left
button is fake.
8. Otherwise, if all the odd digits of the counter don’t show up, the right
button is fake.
9. Otherwise, if only 5 doesn’t show up on the counter and one button is black
that button is a fake.
10. Otherwise, if the last digit of the serial is even, the right button is fake.
11. Otherwise, the left button is fake.
Once you've determined which button is the fake, please refer to the
instructions on the Backgrounds manual.

The module consists of two screens and a gamepad. The larger
screen shows your character, the smaller shows your
opponent.
To disarm the module, you must perform three attacks and a
fatality. Use the tables below to determine your character's attacks and the
order in which they should be performed. Fatalities should not be performed
until three successful attacks have been carried out. To determine the fatality,
start at the top of the list and use the first one where the rule applies.
Entering the incorrect button combination during the initial three attacks
will cause a strike and reset the successful attacks to 0. It may also reset your
opponent's character. Entering the incorrect button combination during the
fatality stage will cause a strike but will not reset your previous attacks or
your opponent's character.

For every pair of AA batteries, add 5 to the number.
For every D battery, take 5 away from the number.
If you end up with a negative number after you have applied these rules then
multiply by -1.
Submit the number and keep the answer for the water stage.

Take the number you got for the temperature and divide it by 3.
If the number is not a whole number, only take the integer part of the number.
If there is an RJ-45 port, add 50 to the number.

You are given an encrypted word. Decrypt it, write it in the
second box and press OK to solve the module.
To decrypt the word start by nding the key.
Add every digit on the serial and then, referring to "Letter-Number Relation"
below, follow the cases to nd your word.
Keep in mind that if you have strikes*, you must add those strikes to the
resulting key.
Case 01: The serial number contains a vowel:
Every letter of the word must be shifted backwards by the key
Keep in mind that if you go under the 0, the next number will be 25 because
numbers go only from 0 to 25.
Case 02: The bomb contains more than 3 batteries:
Every letter of the word must be shifted forwards by the key
Keep in mind that if you go over the 25, the next number will be 0 because
numbers go only from 0 to 25.
Case 03: There is a serial port:
If this is your rst word, refer to Case 01, otherwise go on.
Add to the key the number of letters of the last word you decrypted, then
proceed as like as in Case 01.
Keep in mind that if you go under the 0, the next number will be 25 because
numbers go only from 0 to 25.
Case 04: None of the previous cases matches:
Add to the key the number of solved modules at the moment of the word
generation then proceed as like as in Case 02.
Keep in mind that if you go over the 25, the next number will be 0 because
numbers go only from 0 to 25.

The Swan
0108
On the Subject of The Swan
Every 108 minutes seconds, the button must be pushed...
>: ▐
SEE APPENDIX SW74 FOR THE ORIENTATION MANUAL OF STATION 3.
The module consists of twelve keypads, an 'Execute' button, a computer
EXECUTE
screen and a countdown timer.
Every 108 seconds, the button must be pushed. From the moment the alarm
sounds, you will have 40 seconds to enter the code and push the execute button.
The code is always the same: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
Entering the wrong code will clear the screen and cause a strike.
Failing to push the button will cause a system failure and a strike.
Each time you enter the code and push the button, a system reset will be initiated and the
timer will restart.
It is vital that you keep track of the number of times the system has been reset, as this
information is used to disarm the module.
Only entering the numbers and pushing the button in a timely fashion will constitute a
system reset.
Some time after 40% of the bomb's modules are solved (or when the bomb timer has three
minutes remaining), alternative input commands will appear after a system reset.
Please note, if the bomb timer reaches three minutes, the timer may reset to 108 mid-cycle.
This DOES NOT constitute a system reset.
Once the alternative input commands have appeared, you will have 108 seconds to calculate
and enter the correct disarm code, which can be determined using the rules, exceptions and
number sequences below.
Exceptions take priority over all other rules, with exception three taking highest
priority. Ensure you have read and understood them.
Rules
If the number of resets does not appear on any sequence, enter DHARMA.
If the number of resets multiplied by eight is within two of any number in Radzinsky's
Binomial Spiral, enter HATCH.
If the third number of each sequence, when added to the number of resets, yields a composite
number, enter SWN.
If the number of resets appears on more than one sequence, enter DARMA.
Exceptions
If no rules apply, enter SWAN.
If more than one rule applies, enter HTCH.
If the number of resets is 25 or greater, enter 77.

Orientation Manual for
DHARMA Initiative: Station 3
The Swan
Welcome, I'm Dr. Marvin Candle, and this is the orientation manual
for Station 3 of the DHARMA Initiative. In a moment you'll be given a simple set of
instructions for how you will fulfill the responsibilities associated with the station.
But first, a little history.
The DHARMA Initiative was created in 1970, and it is the brainchild of Gerald and Karen
DeGroot - two doctoral candidates at the University of Michigan. Following in the
footsteps of visionaries such as B.F. Skinner, they imagined a large scale communal
research compound where scientists and free thinkers from around the globe could
pursue research in meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology,
electromagnetism; an Utopian social experiment, supported by Danish industrialist and
munitions magnate Alvar Hanso, whose financial backing made their dream of a multipurpose social science research facility a reality.
You and your partner are currently located in Station 3, or the Swan, and will be for
the next 540 days. Station 3 was originally constructed as a laboratory where
scientists could work to understand the unique electromagnetic fluctuations
emanating from this part of the Island.
Not long after the experiments began, however, there was an incident. And since that
time the following protocol has been observed: every 108 minutes the button must be
pushed. From the moment the alarm sounds you will have four minutes to enter the code
into the microcomputer processor. When the alarm sounds, either you or your partner
must input the code. It is highly recommended that you and your partner take
alternating shifts. In this manner you will both stay fresh and alert. It is of the
utmost importance that when the alarm sounds the code be entered correctly, and in a
timely fashion.
Do not attempt to use the computer for anything else other than the entering of the
code. This is its only function. The isolation associated with Station 3 may tempt you
to try and utilise the computer for communication with the outside world. This is
strictly forbidden. Attempting to use the computer in this manner will compromise the
integrity of the project or worse, could lead to another incident. I repeat, do not use
the computer for anything other than entering the code.
Congratulations, until your replacements arrive, the future of the project is in your
hands. On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso and all of us at the DHARMA Initiative,
thank you. Namaste. And good luck.

Waste Management
On the Subject of Waste Management
Fun fact — The amount of food wasted in Singapore is equivalent to every
household throwing two bowls of rice away every day, per annum.
This module features eight buttons, four of which are Roman
numerals labeled “I", "V", "X", and "L” which have the values of
one, five, ten, and fifty respectively, two with the letters “W
(waste) and R (recycle)”, and the last two colored red and green
respectively. The red button resets the current stage, and the green button
submits the answer. Lastly, there is a display which shows, in the order of
submission: Paper, Plastic and Metal. Note: Since the module registers single
presses, the correct value for 4 would be IIII and not IV. Similarly, IX would be
VIIII. Etc.
To solve the module, the defuser needs to waste and recycle the correct amount of
paper, plastic, and metal.
Starting from zero for all values, use the following tables to determine the
amount of paper, plastic, and metal present. Follow all rules until the end of
each table, performing an operation for each material type where necessary.

Final Instructions:
At any time the bar on the right becomes empty after completing a stage,
IMMEDIATELY press the green button again. Otherwise, a strike will be issued
and the module will reset. This cannot occur during stage 4. From all the
calculated values, if any of them are negative, make them positive and follow all
of the rules below:
1. If the total sum of paper, plastic, and metal present is higher than 695,
recycle everything. Do not progress on to any other stages.
2. Otherwise, if the amount of metal exceeds 200, recycle three-quarters of
the metal and then waste the rest of the metal. Go to rule 4.
3. Otherwise, if the amount of metal is lower than the amount of paper present,
recycle all of the paper, allocate all the plastic to leftovers, waste one
quarter of the metal, and recycle half of the leftovers. The other half of the
leftovers are not used.
4. If the amount of plastic is less than 300 and greater than 100, recycle half
of the plastic. Go to rule 6.
5. If the amount of plastic is less than 100 and greater than 10, waste all of
the plastic.
6. If the amount of paper is less than 65, waste one third of the paper, unless
instruction 4 was also true — recycle all of the paper instead.
7. If the amount of leftovers** are less than 300 and greater than 100, recycle
them. Otherwise, waste them.
If any value ends up with a decimal, round it to the nearest integer. Subtract
your answer for that stage from the amount remaining to calculate the leftovers.
Further notes: Upon submitting an incorrect amount of recycled and/or wasted
material, a strike is issued and the module resets. To submit an answer, the
defuser must input the amount of recycled or wasted paper and then press the R
button to designate it as recycling, or press the W button to designate it as
waste. The defuser must then press the green button to confirm their inputted
amount of wasted and recycled material. A total of three green button presses are
expected. A fourth green button press is expected when there are leftovers.
Upon pressing the red button to reset, the defuser’s input of the material type
for that stage will be reset. There will not be a display to show the amount the
defuser has entered, so he or she must be wary.
*Morse code modules refer to any module that contain “Morse” in their names and Simon Sends.
**Any materials left after being modified by a rule become leftovers unless another rule refers to them
again.
***The bomb time and strikes are taken from the time of the first press of the submit button and is
recalculated with every strike on the module.

Human Resources
On the Subject of Human Resources
Just like management... ignore the problem about to blow up, and care more about
the small details like personnel.
The module will show 10 employees, half current employees
(green), and half applicants (red). It will also show 5
personality types in a combination of red and green.
First, an employee needs to be terminated, due to repeated complaints. The 3
personality types in red are descriptors used in those complaints. For each
descriptor, use the table to find out which MBTI personality type[1] matches that
descriptor.
Consider each of the four traits measured by the MBTI types. If the same trait is
shared by all three descriptors (e.g., they all have E for the first
classification), that trait is REQUIRED. If the trait differs between the 3, the
more common trait is PREFERRED.
Of all current employees, terminate the employee having the most REQUIRED
traits. If multiple employees have the most REQUIRED traits, of those employees
ONLY, terminate the employee with the most PREFERRED traits. If there is still a
tie, any such employee may be terminated. Terminate an employee by selecting
them, and hitting the Hire/Fire button.
After termination, a new applicant must be hired to keep counts up. The same
process used to terminate an employee will be followed to find the applicant
(red) to hire — using the 2 personality types in green, in addition to the
personality type of the employee terminated, instead of the red ones.

Press X
On the Subject of Press X
Due to the fact that gamepads and controllers exist, we unfortunately had to
settle with "Press 'X'".
SEE APPENDIX PX100 FOR A LIST OF PRIME NUMBERS UNDER 100.
This module consists of a four buttons, with the labels
"X", "Y", "A" and "B".
Using edge work, determine which button to press, then determine what time
to press it.
If a time rule states which button to press, it overrules the button rules.

point in time.
Otherwise, if there are 3+ batteries, press the button when the last digit in
the countdown timer equal to the first digit in the serial number.
Otherwise, if the button you need to press is the "A" button and there is
either a 2 or 5 in the serial number, press "A" when the seconds digits in the
countdown timer says 05 or 30.
Otherwise, if the button you need to press is not "Y" and there is a lit
indicator with the label "NSA", press the button when the seconds digit in
the countdown timer are equal to each other.
Otherwise, press the button when the seconds digits in the countdown timer
add to 9.

All aboard!
Congratulations! You’ve purchased a ticket for your European
travels! Unfortunately, only the serial number of your ticket
has printed correctly.
Use the serial number of your ticket and the below tables to
accurately fill in the remaining ticket details.
The KTaNE railway uses an archaic system that only allows you to cycle in one
direction. Use the buttons by the bell to cycle the price digits.
All other options can be cycled by pressing the button or text next to the option
you want to cycle.
Once your ticket shows the correct information, press the bell to board your train.
The letter ‘O’ will never appear on the serial number.
The price shown is for 2nd class tickets. 1st class tickets cost double.

This module contains a screen displaying four 2-digit
hexadecimal error codes.
Only one of the four error codes is necessary to
determine the x code.
Use Table 1 to determine which error code to use, labeled 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
going left to right.
Convert the error code from hexadecimal (hex) to decimal (dec) (See Table 3).
Subtract the decimal error code from 101 to get the decimal x code (for
example, if the decimal error code is 48, the decimal x code would be
101-48 = 53).
Use Table 2 to determine which format the x code must be entered in.
Enter the full x code in the proper format then press "Send" (See Table 3).
Note: the x code must include all appropriate leading zeros from the
table: hexadecimal = 2 digits, decimal = 3 digits, octal = 3 digits, and
binary = 7 digits.
Careful: There is no backspace!

LEGOs
On the Subject of LEGOs
Make sure to not step on this module! Not only will the bomb explode, but your
foot will really hurt.
With this module you now have access to the lastest in
LEGO instruction manual technology! The display has
several pages, which can be accessed by using the left
and right arrow buttons:
PARTS: Use the colored buttons on the right of the display to look at
all of the required pieces for the build.
MANUAL PAGES: These pages display how two pieces are connected
together in the final structure. The flashing piece is the top-most
piece.
BUILD: This page allows you to "draw" with LEGOs. Use the color buttons
to choose the active color. Click on a brick the same color as the
active color to make it white again.
Your goal is to use the instruction manual to build a LEGO structure. Once
complete, go to the BUILD page of the display to enter what it ends up
looking like. Press the submit button when you are finished.
Be careful, however, since you must keep in mind the orientation of the
structure as you build it. Use Table 1 below to determine whether you
should enter a top-down or bottom-up view of the final structure, and
which cardinal direction of the structure should be at the top of the
result.

Rubik’s Clock
On the Subject of Rubik’s Clock
Time is a relative concept. But it can absolutely turn you crazy.
It’s possible to solve it like an actual Rubik’s Clock.
(https://www.google.com/search?q=solve+rubiks+clock)
Alternatively, repeat until all clocks on the front and back
side are set to 12 o’clock:
Select an instruction in the table below based on which clock is lit (big
square) and which pin is lit (small square).
Select two modifications from the second table:
If this is your first iteration: The first four characters of the serial
number determine respectively: action of the 1st modification, amount
of the 1st modification, action of the 2nd modification and amount of
the 2nd modification.
Otherwise: Go one row down for both actions and both amounts you used
in the previous iteration. If you go past the last row, wrap to the top.
If you have ‘Move’ modification(s), apply them to the instruction square. If
you go past an edge, wrap to the opposite side of the grid.
In the instruction square, the top two arrows indicate which pins to toggle
state (push or pull). The bottom arrow and number indicate which gear to
rotate for how many hours clockwise. An overline means counterclockwise
instead.
If you have other modification(s), apply them to alter the instructions.
‘Rotate’ modifications are applied first.
Apply the modified instructions to the Clock. Turn the Clock over to the
other side.

The Stopwatch
On the Subject of The Stopwatch
Patience is key!
The module consists of a stopwatch with a start/stop
button on it (located at the top left), and a display
which shows the time it was started/stopped. The timer
display will go green when the stopwatch is activated.
To defuse the module, you must calculate and run the
stopwatch for the required amount of time. Stopping after an incorrect
amount of time will cause a strike and reset the stopwatch to 0.
Warning: if the time remaining on the bomb runs to less than the amount of
time the stopwatch must run for, the module will become unsolvable.
If the start time of the bomb is between 1:01 and 5:00 minutes, the required
stopwatch runtime in seconds should be divided by 10 and rounded down if
it is initially greater than 30 seconds.
If the start time of the bomb is 1:00 minute or less, the required stopwatch
runtime in seconds should be divided by 20 and rounded down if it is
initially greater than 30 seconds.
The timer display should be used as a guide only. The stopwatch will always
count true seconds and must be run for the required amount of true seconds.
If the serial number has 2 digits:
Create the two possible two digit numbers from the serial number.

On the Subject of Pie
What is the point of naming this module 'pie' if there is no pie?! The pie is a lie!
See Appendix π for pi identification reference.
A Pie module shows five consecutive significant digits
within the first 500 digits of pi (π). The digits are ordered
from left to right.
Search for the position of the first digit, from which the five digits begin. Add
this position to the number displayed on the module. Take this sum modulo 100.
This result will be referred to as the number X.
Add up all the five digits, then take the least significant digit. This digit will
be referred to as the number Y.
Follow all the rules below from top to bottom, pressing each digit only once:
1. If X is a prime number, press the first digit.
2. If X and Y are either both even or both odd, press the second digit.
3. If X is a multiple of three, press the third digit.
4. If Y is not zero, and X is a multiple of Y, press the fourth digit.
5. Press all the digits that are not pressed yet from right to left, starting
from the fifth digit.

Mind the gap!
The module consists of a departure station, a
<DEST>
destination station and three line change boxes.
To defuse the module, you must submit a valid journey
from your departure station to your destination station and press the
'Underground' button. This process must be repeated three times.
You may travel via anywhere you choose using up to a maximum of three
lines. There is no penalty for longer journies.
If you only require one line for your journey, use the top box only. If you
only require two lines for your journey, use the top two boxes only.
To change lines, press the '|' button on the relevant box. To change the
station, press the '●' button on the relevant box.
Your locations will always be within zones 1-3.
Due to ongoing maintenance, the DLR, EAL, London Overground, TfL Rail and
London Tram lines are not in service.
Entering an invalid journey will cause a strike and the module to reset.

INITIATE
Only one wire? You should probably cut it. Wait, what do those dials do?
The module consists of three retractable dials (ordered
1-3 in reading order), a retractable wire, a number
display and an initiate button.
To defuse the module, you must set the dials to the
correct channel and cut the wire at a specified time.
Push the initiate button to expose the dials/wire and start the countdown.
Once the countdown expires, the dials and wires will retract. The colours
will reset upon re-initialisation. For safety reasons, the wire cannot be
cut whilst in motion.
Use the flow chart to determine the correct channels of the three dials.
Once a dial has been set, disregard any further instructions for that dial.
Use the Venn diagram to determine when the wire must be cut.
Cutting the wire at the wrong time or with the dials incorrectly set will
result in a strike.

The first row of 8 LEDs tell you the input states. The second row of 4 LEDs
tell you the output states of gates A through D. Use the arrow buttons to
cycle through different input configurations, and determine the gate types
of the first four gates.
One gate type will occur twice on the circuit, all others once. In the
following rules, if the found gate type already occurs, and you already
found the duplicate, continue taking single steps until you find an
available gate type.
To find the gate type of gate E:
Start at the gate type of gate A in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate B. Take that many steps
following the arrows.
To find the gate type of gate F:
Start at the gate type of gate E in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate C. Take that many steps.
To find the gate type of gate G:
Start at the gate type of gate F in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate D. Take that many steps.
Once you've established all gate types, cycle to an input configuration that
will set the final output to on. Press ‘CHECK’. If the output is off, you’ve
earned a strike.

Logic Gates
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic
gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment, every input and every
output is either off (0, false) or on (1, true).
There are seven basic logic gates: NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR and XNOR. The NOT
gate has one input and one output. The others have two inputs and one output.
Inputs are normally drawn on the left, outputs on the right.
NOT
Has only one input. True becomes false, false becomes true. This gate
will not be used on the module directly.
AND
When both inputs are true, the output is true. Otherwise, the output is
false.
OR
When either or both inputs are true, the output is true. When both
inputs are false, the output is false.
XOR
(Exclusive-OR) If either, but not both, inputs are true, the output is
true. If neither or both inputs are true, the output is false.
NAND
It operates as an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. When both inputs are
true, the output is false. Otherwise, the output is true.
NOR
It operates as an OR gate followed by a NOT gate. When either or both
inputs are true, the output is false. When both inputs are false, the
output is true.
XNOR
(Exclusive-NOR) It operates as an XOR gate followed by a NOT gate. If
either, but not both, inputs are true, the output is false. If neither or
both inputs are true, the output is true.

The dials, nixie tubes, and lights will update on each

8
solved module*. The current stage is shown on the
display, and stages are not in order.
6486426165
When solving, put the stages in order based on the
display, starting at 01.
For the first stage, take the dial values. This is your starting solution,
and this stage is considered a valid stage.
For every stage there-after, determine if the stage is valid. If it is, refer
to the next page for modifying your solution.
After all stages have been shown, the stage display will turn blank, and the
nixie tubes and lights will shut off. This indicates the module is ready to
be solved.
Enter your solution using the dials, and turn the key to solve the module.
Do not attempt to interact with the module before it is ready to be solved,
and always wait for dials to stop before turning the key.
If your answer is incorrect, you will gain one free position check,
indicated by the LED next to the stage display.
Position checks can be entered using 0s with a single 1 to view all relevant
stages (i.e. 0001000000 shows 4th, 14th, 24th...).
Position checks can be done without a free check, but will count as an
incorrect answer (which gives a free check).
Follow these steps to determine if a stage is valid:
If the previous two stages were both valid, this stage is not valid.
If the previous two stages were both not valid, this stage is valid.
If neither of the above apply, or if there are not two previous stages, this
stage is valid if both numbers shown in the nixie tubes are on the dials.
Follow these steps to determine the stage colour:
If three colours are shown, the stage colour is the one that is not shown.
Otherwise, the stage colour is the colour that appears multiple times.
Refer to the next page for modifying your solution using valid stages.
* Some modules are ignored by Forget Everything modules.

The colors, Simon; what do they mean!?
This module is comprised of three stages, where each stage
contains a 4×4 indicator grid above a 6×6 display grid. Each
grid is comprised of ve colors: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow,
A
and Purple. In each stage you must select a number of rows
and/or columns from the 6×6 grid. You can select a row or
column by pressing the arrow button at the end of that row or column. The
selections you must make can be determined as follows:
SUBMIT
From the pattern of the indicator and the state of the bomb, determine the
row in the next table to use for the stage.
For the Venn line patterns section, consider the colors present in the
indicator. For every color that is present in both the indicator and the
table row for the stage, obtain the line pattern above that color in the
column. Use that pattern or patterns in the Venn diagram on the following
page to determine the correct constraint set number.
Go to that constraint set. For each constraint in that set from top to
bottom, select the row or column which satis es that constraint from the
6×6 grid. Skip the constraint labels described in the skip section, based on
the current stage.
When you have completed all three stages, the module will be disarmed.

the same compass point are considered to be a set.
To defuse the module, you must press a sequence of

button will cause a strike and reset the sequence.
Using the location of the LED and the variable table below, determine which
button in each set is correct. A '+' sign indicates a clockwise movement.

For each variable (x) modulo 7, the correct button is:
x < 2 = outer button.
2 ≤ x < 5 = inner button.
x ≥ 5 = centre button.
To determine the order, start with the northern most set and move clockwise
for the total number of modules on the bomb. This is your starting set.
Convert your serial number letters into equivalent digits modulo 10.
Each movement to a new set is represented by a digit of the serial number.
Use each digit in order. For each serial digit (d):
d < 5 = counterclockwise movement.
d > 4 = clockwise movement.
For each movement, move only once in the given direction.
Do not answer the same set twice. If you are moved onto a solved set,
continue moving in the given direction until you reach an unsolved set.
After progressing through the digits of the serial number, you will have
one set remaining. This is your final set.
The module will be solved once you have correctly pressed your eight
button sequence or when you have pressed the centre button.

Tangrams
On the Subject of Tangrams
"A brand new concept for integrated circuit mass production, the ITC: Integrated
Tangram CircuitPatent Pending."
Modules of this type will have a square integrated circuit
chip, with exposed contact points around the edges.
Internally, the integrated circuits are built up using
modular pieces as detailed in the enclosed "TAN-M Poly Modular Chipset"
blueprint upon a template as detailed in the enclosed "TAN-S" & "TAN-D"
blueprint pages.
Defusing the module
To defuse the module, successfully overload the integrated circuit 3 times to
pop and burn it out. To do this, identify pairs of contact points which will
allow electrical current to ow uninterrupted from positive contact points to
negative contact points.
Always select a positive contact point rst, then a negative contact point, and
then wait for the module to overload that electrical circuit; you will hear a
small pop when a circuit has been successfully overloaded with current.
You must use different positive contact points for each pair of valid contact
points (negative contact points can be reused though); selecting a pair with a
previously used valid positive contact point will cause a strike. Selecting a
pair of contact points that do not allow current to ow uninterrupted from
positive to negative will cause a strike. Selecting any contact point while the
module is busy overloading the circuit will cause a strike.
In order to determine which pairs of contact points are valid, you will need to
reconstruct the internal circuit diagram for the installed integrated chip.
Constructing the circuit
The installed integrated chip will have a short string code (indicating either a
"TAN-S" or "TAN-D" template structure), and then a sequence of digits — the
number of digits in the chip code indicates the number of pieces required to
ll a completed circuit template.
There will only be one template in the blueprints that will accept exactly the
determined number of pieces with the asssociated template structure type - no
cell in the template will ever be left unoccupied.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod

For each numbered cell, use its corresponding digit in the chip code to obtain
the piece number that should be used to ll in that cell. For example, for a code
of TAN-D 376581, that refers to template TAN-D-6471 (TAN-D, 6 pieces); cell #1
would use MT-03 (shape is medium triangle, 1st digit of code is 3), cell #2 would
use ST-07 (shape is small triangle, 2nd digit of code is 7), etc.
For any piece where multiple orientations might be possible, match the white
dot on the piece to the template to orient the piece correctly; pieces will never
need to be ipped to t into the templates.
Once you have constructed the circuit, you then need to read the constructed
circuit diagram to nd suitable pairs of contact points.
Reading the circuit diagram
Each individual piece contains contact points, which will connect up to
adjacent pieces to allow the circuit to ow correctly from piece to piece. Some
contact points are not connected to any circuitry, and as such should be treated
as a 'dead-end' for electrical current.
Intersecting lines are only connected if there is a connector dot at the
intersection point; if there is not a connector dot, then the lines 'jump' over
each other instead.
Electrical current is directional, and will only ow from positive to negative.
Diodes in the circuits will only allow current to ow in one direction (the
direction the diode is pointing to, towards the perpendicular line); current
will not be able to ow in the opposite direction through the diode.

On the Subject of Tangrams
"A brand new concept for integrated circuit mass production, the ITC: Integrated
Tangram CircuitPatent Pending."
Modules of this type will have a square integrated circuit
chip, with exposed contact points around the edges.
Internally, the integrated circuits are built up using
modular pieces as detailed in the enclosed "TAN-M Poly Modular Chipset"
blueprint upon a template as detailed in the enclosed "TAN-S" & "TAN-D"
blueprint pages.
Defusing the module
To defuse the module, successfully overload the integrated circuit 3 times to
pop and burn it out. To do this, identify pairs of contact points which will
allow electrical current to ow uninterrupted from positive contact points to
negative contact points.
Always select a positive contact point rst, then a negative contact point, and
then wait for the module to overload that electrical circuit; you will hear a
small pop when a circuit has been successfully overloaded with current.
You must use different positive contact points for each pair of valid contact
points (negative contact points can be reused though); selecting a pair with a
previously used valid positive contact point will cause a strike. Selecting a
pair of contact points that do not allow current to ow uninterrupted from
positive to negative will cause a strike. Selecting any contact point while the
module is busy overloading the circuit will cause a strike.
In order to determine which pairs of contact points are valid, you will need to
reconstruct the internal circuit diagram for the installed integrated chip.
Constructing the circuit
The installed integrated chip will have a short string code (indicating either a
"TAN-S" or "TAN-D" template structure), and then a sequence of digits — the
number of digits in the chip code indicates the number of pieces required to
ll a completed circuit template.
There will only be one template in the blueprints that will accept exactly the
determined number of pieces with the asssociated template structure type - no
cell in the template will ever be left unoccupied.

The Moon
To determine the order, start with the right-most (reading clockwise) unlit
set and move clockwise on unlit sets only for the sum of the serial number
digits. This is your starting set.
Convert your serial number letters into equivalent digits.
For any single digit numbers, add a zero at the start. Reverse each number
and modulo 7 the result.
Each movement to a new set is represented by your new numbers. Use each
number in order. For each number (n):
n < 4 = two steps clockwise.
n > 3 = two steps counterclockwise.
Do not answer the same set twice. If you are moved onto a solved set,
continue moving a single space in the given direction until you reach an
unsolved set.
After progressing through the converted serial numbers, you will have one
set remaining. This is your final set.
The module will be solved once you have correctly pressed your eight
button sequence or when you have pressed the centre button.

How did the Ancient Greeks make such an advanced lock? It must be aliens!
The module consists of a locked five-wheel door, a
compass rose, a reset button (bottom left) and a submit
button (bottom right).
The outermost-wheel contains eight Greek symbols and
cannot be directly controlled. The other wheels each contain four different
coloured jewels and can be rotated.
There are eight potential jewels that you may encounter. Each jewel can
only appear once on any given wheel:
Amethyst (purple)
Emerald (green)
Glass (silver/clear)
Onyx (black)
Poudretteite (pink)
Ruby (red)
Sapphire (blue)
Scapolite (yellow)
To solve the module, set the correct jewels to the correct orientation and
press the submit button.
Submitting an incorrect configuration of jewels will cause a strike,
shuffle the wheels and change the orientation.
Turning the wheels a total of thirteen times without resetting will shuffle

Okay, root of 64? - 8. No, the other kind of root. 4 then! NO, THE OTHER KIND!
On the module there are three numbers in a row, another
number below them, and buttons with the labels yes and
no.
Determine if the lower number is the digital root of the
three upper numbers.
A digital root is determined by adding the three numbers together, then
taking each of the digits of the answer and adding them together. Continue
doing this until you are left with a single number.
If the lower number is the digital root of the three upper numbers, press
the yes button. If it is not, press the no button.

Marble Tumble
On the Subject of Marble Tumbles
Left. Left! ... No, the other left!
A Marble Tumble features a marble that starts at the top, and
5 concentric cylinders each of which has two holes in it. The
smaller hole is a trap, which incurs a strike and resets the
module if the marble lands in it, while the other allows the
marble to proceed down one level. To defuse the module, the
marble must reach the center.
When tapped, the module rotates the cylinders clockwise or counter-clockwise
depending on the last digit of the seconds on the countdown timer. The
following table shows which cylinder moves how many notches and in which
direction. One notch equates to an angle of 36°.

The answer to this puzzle is spray painted on the wall. Hurry up and punch it in!
The module consists of a graffiti wall containing nine
painted numbers from 1-9. Each digit will only appear
once. Warning: '7' and '1' look similar.
To disarm the module, you must spray paint the correct
buttons in the order dictated by the rules below:
If there are more red numbers than green numbers, start at Rule #8 and
progress in reverse order.
Otherwise, if there are more blue numbers than yellow numbers, start
at Rule #6.
Otherwise, if there are more green numbers than blue numbers, start at
Rule #4 and progress in reverse order.
Otherwise, start at Rule #1.
In each instance, if the rule is true, spray that number.

Logical Buttons
On the Subject of Logical Buttons
It has logical in the name, so if it doesn't make sense to you that’s your fault.
SEE APPENDIX LOGBTNSX100 FOR LOGIC GATE REFERENCES.
This module consists of 3 buttons, a stage counter and a
screen stating a logic gate. To solve it you will have to
go through 3 stages.
In each stage you will have to determine which of the buttons you will have
to press based on their color, label and the logic gate present.
If multiple buttons have to be pressed in a stage you will have to determine
the order in which you must press them.
The buttons are numbered in reading order.
Both the label and the color of a button will hold a true/false value. Once
you get both values you run them through the logic gate and get an answer.
If you get true, the button should be pressed and if you get false it
shouldn’t.
If no button has to be pressed you must press the logic gate screen until you
get a logic gate that allows you to press a button.
When the correct button(s) have been pressed the module will automatically
proceed to the next stage.
If a correct button is pressed the border of the button will light up white.
Determining values of colors/labels:
The value of the color/label is true if the condition is met.
Colors
Red - No blue button present.
Blue - Another blue button present.
Green - The next button in clockwise order is purple or white.
Yellow - The button’s label is not “Wrong” or “Logic”.
Purple - No buttons in primary colors.*
White(Light Grey) - One or more buttons is in a primary color.*
Orange - The top button is not orange.
Cyan - The button’s label is exactly 5 letters long.
Grey(Dark Grey) - The button has the same label as another button.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod
Logical Buttons
Labels
“Logic” - There are no gray buttons.
“Color” - The button’s color is not green, yellow or orange.
“Label” - The top button’s label is not exactly 5 letters long.
“Button” - The next button in clockwise order’s label is not “Hmmm” or “No”.
“Wrong” - The next button in counter-clockwise order’s color is the same as
this one.
“Boom” - The other two buttons have the same color.
“No” - This button’s color condition is false.
“Wait” - The module is in stage 3.
“Hmmm” - The left button’s color condition is true.
*Primary colors are red, blue and yellow.

Game of Life Cruel
On the Subject of Cruel Game of Life
Live a colorful life, they say. They’re wrong. Colors just make life cruel.
The module will display a grid of squares colored either
black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple or
brown. To defuse this module, the rules of Conway’s Game of
Life (shown in table A) will need to be applied to the grid
once. Note that the rules need to be applied to all the squares
at the same time for each generation.
The state of each square can be toggled by clicking on it. Note that colored
squares are to be converted into either black or white, according to table B,
before applying the rules from table A. Black and White are not considered
colors.
If the square isn’t flashing, simply use the rule from Table B.
If the square is flashing one color, turn the square black if the rule
applies and white if it doesn’t.
If the square is flashing 2 primary colors, use the rule for the mixture of 2
colors.
If the square is flashing a primary color and a secondary color, and the
secondary color contains the primary color as its component, use the rule
for the primary color, otherwise use the rules for the secondary color.
If the square is flashing 2 secondary colors, use the rules for the primary
color that is a component of both flashing colors.
If the square is flashing 2 colors and one of them is brown, use the rule for
brown if the last digit of the serial number is even, otherwise use the rule
for the other color.
Entering the correct final configuration by pressing Submit will solve the
module. Entering the wrong configuration this way will induce a strike. At any
time, by pressing Reset, the module will return to its initial state.
BUT if the bomb has exactly 6 batteries in 3 holders, and an unlit Bob, ignore all
the rules. Bob has returned to help you once again. Just press the Submit button
during the initial state. Thanks, Bob!

Never gonna sing in tune, never gonna flash maroon, never gonna call up Simon
and show up. Never gonna seal your fate, never gonna detonate, never gonna solve
your modules and blow up.
This module consists of a round piano board with
colored keys. There is also a light in the center of the
module that flashes the colors of some of the keys.
The light cycles through a sequence of 8 colors. Black indicates a space
between repetitions. Identify which piano keys have these colors and
translate them to binary digits according to Table 1 below. If the
condition in the table is true, the digit is a 1; otherwise, a 0. Each group
of 4 constitutes one 4-digit binary number.
The module consists of three stages. In each stage, the two binary numbers
point to two new piano keys to press according to Table 2. In each stage,
press the keys from the previous stages plus the new ones.
The keyboard has two octaves, one on the left half of the wheel and the other
on the right. Each key to press is on the other side from the previous. Start
on the left if the serial number has a vowel and on the right otherwise.
A strike will reset the input for the current stage. Long-press the light in
the center to reset the entire module (only available in stages 2–3).
Table 1
C
C♯/D♭
This is the first or last digit in its 4-digit binary number.
This is the second or third digit in its 4-digit binary number.
D
If this is the first of the 8 digits: The last digit of the serial number
is odd. Otherwise: The previous digit was 0.
D♯/E♭
The position of this digit in its 4-digit number matches the number
of port plates.
E
If there are no port plates: There is an odd number of batteries.
Otherwise: The position of this digit in its 4-digit number matches
the number of ports on the port plate with the most ports on it.
F
We are in the third stage of the module.
F♯/G♭
The current stage number matches the number of letters in the serial
number minus one.

G
If this is the first digit in its 4-digit binary number: There is an
odd number of indicators. Otherwise: This number’s first color
referred to a sharp/flat key.

If we are in the first stage: There is an odd number of ports.
Otherwise: Two colors flashing consecutively in the previous stage
refer to sharp/flat keys.

If we are in the first stage: There is an even number of indicators.
Otherwise: One (or both) of the 4-digit numbers in the previous stage
was less than 5.

On the Subject of Simon Sends
Did you expect this flavor text to refer to itself?
This is the “first” word for purposes of counting words and
paragraphs in this text. The flavor text and appendix are
excluded.
Hyphenated words equate to just one word. Punctuation marks
do not count as letters.
A Simon Sends puzzle is equipped with colorized lights which flash unique
letters in Morse code simultaneously, and a dial for adjusting the frequency of
flashing.
Owing to their proximity, the lights (red, green and blue) mix by way of additive
color mixing. Work out the individual colors.
Convert each recognized letter into a number using its alphabetic position.
Call your thusly acquired numbers R, G and B. Derive new letters as follows:
Count R letters from the start of the G’th word from the start of the B’th
paragraph in this manual and make it your new red letter.
Count G letters from the start of the B’th word from the start of the R’th
paragraph in this manual and make it your new green letter.
Count B letters from the start of the R’th word from the start of the G’th
paragraph in this manual and make it your new blue letter.
Realize a new color sequence by juxtaposing — again using known additive
color mixing — one copy of each new letter’s Morse code.
Acknowledge a dot and a dash in Morse code have sizes of one and three units,
respectively. Gaps between them also have a size of just one unit.
Input your acquired color sequence using each qualifying color button.
A mistake is rejected with a strike. On such an occasion, adjust and finish your
answer. Look at the display to judge your input thus far.
Jump back to the “first” word if, while counting, you advance beyond the “last”
word, which is this.

other side of the table.
Each letter is represented by its row's number of taps, a pause, then its
column's number of taps.
The letter "K" is substituted with a "C" in tap code.
When entering the answer, you will hear a click noise after each pause,
which signals to resume entering in the answer. At the end, there will be
another click noise. Tap again to submit your solution.
Entering an incorrect word will result in a strike, and the input is
erased.

The Orange Button
On the Subject of The Orange Button
This is a button. It is orange.
The module contains an orange button with a digit from 0-8
written on it and a screen consisting of letters from A-I.
Take the serial number characters, and split them up into three
pairs of two:
The sixth and fifth serial number characters as the first pair.
The fourth and third serial number characters as the second pair.
The second and first serial number characters as the third pair.
Convert any letters into their base-36 value. (A=10, B=11, ..., Z=35) Then, take each
character serial number, and repeatedly subtract 9 until your number is between 0 and
8.
The first value in each pair represents which column in the table below you have to use.
The second value represents the row. Find the letter found at the intersection.
Then, with the number written on the button, move these many squares down from the
discovered intersection, wrapping around to the beginning of the row if necessary. The
three letters found at each new square is what needs to be submitted.
To change the letter in the display, tap the button when the letter's color is cyan. This
will shift it forward n times, where n is the position of the green LED from top to
bottom.
To submit your answer, hold the button over any timer tick.

This is a button. It is red.
The module contains a red button with a logic gate written on
it and a screen consisting of red and green 0's and 1's.
The 0's represent "false", and the 1's represent "true". The
numbers in the top row pair with the numbers below them in
the bottom row.
Red numbers represent a false statement, and green numbers represent a true
statement. These statements must be determined to be true or false based on the
logic gate written on the button.
To toggle a pair of numbers to be true or false, hold the button down over the
timer tick in which the seconds digit is equal to the position in the rows. A
cyan LED will light up to signify your position in the rows.
To submit the module, tap the button.

Greek Calculus
On the Subject of Greek Calculus
The bomb makers are clever. Either the bomb explodes, or they get the answers to
their calculus problems. Make your choice. Also, they like Greek letters.
Good luck!
This module contains two screens, labeled x and y,
showing data points on a function. It also contains two
parameters written to the right of the screens, one blue,
one yellow, and a colored LED above the screens.
The full list of data points can be cycled through using the left and right
buttons near the x screen. The data points are sorted in increasing x order,
and wrap around.
Some of the y values and both parameters are encoded using lowercase Greek
letters. Their values can be found using Table 1 below.
There will always be data points with x values equal to each parameter.
According to the color of the LED, perform the correct calculation using
Table 2 below.
After the answer has been determined, use the number buttons below the
screen to input the result. If the result is negative, input the absolute
value of the result and then hit the "NEG" button. Push the "CHK" button to
check.
If either the incorrect answer is submitted or more than 9 digits were
punched into the module, a strike is given and the input is reset to
positive 0.
A note on rounding: If the number to be rounded lies exactly halfway
between two integers, always round to the greater integer. (e.g. 3.5 rounds
to 4, -9.5 rounds to -9)

Greek Calculus
Table 2: LED Calculations Table
Green LED:
The goal is to approximate the derivative of the function at the average of
the two parameters.
To do so, first find the average of the two parameters, and call it a.
Then, within the list, find the data point with the smallest x value that is
still strictly greater than a. Call this point (x1, y1).
Find the data point with the greatest x value that is still strictly less than
a. Call this point (x2, y2).
The answer is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) rounded to the nearest integer, where / means
division.
Red, Blue or Yellow LED:
The goal is to estimate the integral of the function from the blue parameter
to the yellow parameter.
If the parameters are equal, the answer is 0.
Otherwise, starting from the data point with the same x value as the lower
parameter and ending at the data point with the same x value as the higher
parameter (both inclusive), for each pair of adjacent data points within the
list, multiply two numbers:
the positive difference between their x values, and:
If the LED is Red, the y value of the point with the lower x value.
If the LED is Blue, the y value of the point with the higher x value.
If the LED is Yellow, the average of their y values.
Add all the results together. If the blue parameter is less than the yellow
parameter, this sum is the answer. Otherwise, negate this sum to get the
answer.
Round the answer to the nearest integer.
Otherwise:
You don't have to do calculus for this one. Just add up the y values of all
points with x value between the parameters (inclusive on both sides). This is
the answer.

I... I don’t know if I want to do this anymore...
Four colors will flash in a sequence. Each subsequent
stage adds two more colors. There are three stages.
Using the figure on the next page, find the 5×5 square
corresponding to the color that flashed first.
Use the center of that 5×5 square as your starting point.
For each color that follows, move towards the center of that color’s 5×5
square.
Move one space at a time.
Move in the direction with the greatest amount of spaces between the
center of the current position of your 5×5 square, and the center of
that color’s 5×5 square.
Move only in orthogonal directions (left, right, up or down), except
when the amount of spaces in both orthogonal directions is the same; at
that point move diagonally.
Count the colors in this new 5×5 square. The colors are (R)ed, (B)lue, (G)reen,
(Y)ellow, (M)agenta, (C)yan, and (W)hite.
Press the colored buttons in the order from least to most occurrences
according to the following rules:
If the serial number contains a vowel: Only press the colors with an
even number of occurrences.
If the serial number does not contain a vowel: Only press the colors
with an odd number of occurrences.
If colors tie on occurrence, press the tied colors in the order of their
first occurrence in the 5×5 square in reading order.
If the sequence restarts flashing after you have entered a partial answer,
your input is reset.

Faulty Sink
On the Subject of the Faulty Sink
There's nothing worse than when your plumbing is not working properly.
In the process of transferring manufacturers for our Sinks,
there have been some issues in production, causing many of
our product to become faulty.
While this issue would generally be dealt with within our
own parties, it appears that many of these faulty Sinks have
made their way to the general public, and it is our reponsibility to request a
recall of this product for general safety and performance.
Unfortunately, as this product is designed with explosives in mind, it's
important to know how to dismantle the product before removal and return of the
product.
Fortunately, we have documentation of the workings of the various faulty
product. Use the following instructions along with the original Sink
instructions as a guide. Do not interact with a hot or cold knob unless the
instructions state that you may.
Important: The most common malfunction is an endless turning knob. If you
interact with a button one of the knobs may begin spinning on its own. The knob
will continue spinning until it is manually stopped.
There are three different ways to stop a knob from spinning:
1. If the knob begins spinning after entering a set of three inputs, input
those three inputs in reverse.
2. Otherwise if a knob is spinning clockwise, hold that knob for three seconds
and let go. If you hold for longer than five seconds, you may recieve a
warning.
3. Otherwise, if the knob is spinning counter-clockwise, select the opposite
knob.
If only the drain pipe appears black, select the hot knob and then select the
sink itself.
If the drain pipe appears blue, swap all cold and hot knob inputs
If there are pink textures, select the texture from another object on the
module and copy it over the pink texture. When the knobs are the same, you may
interact with them.
If all materials are black, the product is overheating. Do not interact with
the hot knob. You may use the faucet or drain pipe instead. The cold knob will
function as normal.
If the module is upside down, that means the product is working in reverse.
Renumber the intended conditionals from bottom to top [1-6], and check the
number of batteries from bottom [0-1] to top [6+]. Finally, input the final knob
inputs in reverse.

Sink
On the Subject of Sinks
I'd say bombs have everything but the kitchen sink, but apparently they have that
too.
This module will present you with a sink with two knobs: Hot
and cold, use the number of batteries to figure out which row
in Table A to follow. This row will give you a series of
numbers corresponding to the conditions in the numbered
list. For each conditional that’s true, turn the knob in the “If true” column. For
each conditional that’s false, turn the knob in the “If false” column.

Guitar Chords
On the Subject of Guitar Chords
You hum it, I'll play it.
The module consists of a guitar fretboard, three level
displays and a play button.
To defuse the module, you must enter the finger
positions of the given chords at the capo position.
Entering a wrong or invalid chord will cause a strike.
Use the chord chart to determine the position of each chord.
Press a fret to select it. Press it again to deselect it.
At each stage, the capo positions are determined by the tables below. Use the
first condition that applies.
The capo position relocates the chord on the fretboard.
For example, capo 3 will move any fingers on the first fret to the fourth
fret. Capo 8 will move any fingers on the third fret to the eleventh fret etc.
Any empty strings are unaffected by the capo, and remain empty.

Lasers
On the Subject of Lasers
Don’t shoot yourself in the foot.
The module will initially show 9 closed hatches in a 3×3
grid. Each hatch is numbered a digit from 1–9.
Open 7 hatches to reveal 7 colored lasers in the order
listed in the below table. At each stage, choose a laser
that is not forbidden based on the rule listed in the
table.
Choosing a forbidden laser will earn a strike and reset the module to its
initial state.
You cannot re-use an already opened hatch. The numbers on the hatches do
not change position. Make it through all 7 stages to defuse the module.
Based on the hatches chosen in earlier stages, it is possible to reach a
later stage in which no remaining hatches are valid. However, there is
always at least one path that can be taken from start to finish that will not
lead to such a situation.
Stage
Color
Forbidden Lasers
Red
Any laser in the row containing the laser equal to the digital root*
of the sum of all laser numbers in the topmost row.
Orange
Any laser orthogonally** adjacent to the laser taken in the red
stage.
Yellow
Any laser in the column originally containing the laser equal to the
digital root* of the sum of all laser numbers originally in the 2
rightmost columns.
Green
Any laser NOT diagonally adjacent to the laser taken in the yellow
stage.
Blue
Any laser in the row or the column originally containing the laser
equal to the digital root* of the (number of whole minutes
originally in the bomb plus one).
Purple
Any laser that shares parity (that is, matches even/odd condition)
with the number of modules originally on the bomb.
White
Any laser originally adjacent to the laser taken in the blue stage.
* Digital root is calculated by adding the sum of the digits of a number, and
repeating until left with a single number. For example, 1356 = 1+3+5+6 = 15; 15 =
1+5 = 6, so the digital root of 1356 is 6.
** Lasers are orthogonally adjacent if they are to the left/right/up/down of one
another (adjacent, not counting diagonals).

Black Hole
On the Subject of Black Holes
Ground control to Major Tom, do you read?
To disarm all Black Hole modules on a bomb, obtain a code
consisting of digits 0–4. The length of the code is 7 times
the total number of Black Hole modules on the same bomb. At
any point, you may enter the next digit of the code on any
unsolved Black Hole module.
If you solve a different module on the bomb after entering a digit of the code,
the code gets shortened by two digits, except when your digit caused a Black
Hole module to become solved. This way the code for a single Black Hole can be
reduced from 7 to 3 digits by solving other modules between entering digits.
The code for two Black Holes can be shortened from 14 to 6, etc.
Observe the 10×10 grid on the next page. Calculate your starting location in
this grid from the bomb’s serial number. The third character is the xcoordinate, the sixth character the y-coordinate. Columns and rows are
counted left-to-right/top-to-bottom from 0.
To determine your initial direction of movement, start by facing north, then
turn 45° clockwise for each port on the bomb.
Obtain the first digit of the code from that grid location, then move one space
in your initial direction, then rotate your direction 45° clockwise.
The next digit is the sum, modulo 5*, of two consecutive grid locations in your
current direction. Obtain the two numbers, move one space beyond them, then
rotate 45° clockwise.
Proceed likewise for every subsequent digit, adding one more grid location
each time. The nth digit of the code is the sum (modulo 5*) of n consecutive grid
locations.
Every time you move beyond the edge of the grid, wrap around to the opposite
side.
The following page explains the gesture for entering each digit.
The “C” gesture can be used to determine how many correct digits have already
been entered in case you lost track.
* “modulo 5”: Add/subtract 5 until the number is in the range 0–4.

See Appendix BT for a glossary of terms and orderings
relating to binary trees.

The module contains a screen and a depth-three complete
binary tree, containing seven nodes that are buttons
which could be pressed. Each node may be differently colored, and each has a
single black or silver character printed on it. The letter 'O' does not
appear on this module, but the number zero may appear.
The module contains three stages. In each stage, determine which node to
press using a reference node. For the first stage, use the root of the tree as
the reference node. For each subsequent stage, use the correct node pressed
in the previous stage as the reference node.
To find which node to press, first turn the character printed on the
reference node into a number. If it is a numeric character, use that number,
otherwise use the position of that character in the alphabet + 2.
If the resulting number is greater than 7, subtract 7 repeatedly until it is
within the range 1~7. If the number is 0, use 7. Call this number N.
Use the table on the next page to determine an ordering of the nodes from
the current stage number and the color of the reference node.
Press the node that is the Nth node from the start of the ordering, UNLESS
the text on the reference node is silver, in that case press the Nth node
counting in reverse from the end of the ordering instead.
The screen displays previously pressed correct nodes, and is not required
to solve the module.
Pressing a wrong node will result in a strike, but the module will stay on
its current stage. The module will also display the cross-shaped strike
indicator for a while, during which all inputs are ignored.

Section 2: Needy Modules
Needy modules cannot be disarmed, but pose a recurrent
hazard.
Needy modules can be identified as a module with a small
2‑digit timer in the top center. Interacting with the bomb
may cause them to become activated. Once activated, these
needy modules must be tended to regularly before their timer
expires in order to prevent a strike.
Stay observant: needy modules may reactivate at any time.

Encrypted Indicators
Appendix ค: Encrypted Indicators
Finally, encryption that's not NP hard!
This indicator works like any other, except its label
has been encrypted! The three letters next to the
indicator light have been replaced with arcane symbols.
Find the sum of the numbers gained from looking up each
symbol in the left table. If the result is in the range
[1,11], then use that result in the second table to nd the label. Otherwise, each
symbol instead represents the letters in the rst table.

What is up with that Blue ѨԒล indicator and Red CAR indicator?
This indicator works like any other, except that the label is
sometimes encrypted. In the case of encryption, use the
following instructions. The three letters next to the
indicator light have been replaced with arcane symbols. Find the sum of the
numbers gained from looking up each symbol in the left table. If the result is in
the range [1,11], then use that result in the second table to find the label.
Otherwise, each symbol instead represents the letters in the first table.

Appendix: Two-Factor
Since when did bombs come equipped with Two Factor Authentication?
The Two factor code changes every 60* seconds real time. Least significant digit
is the one closest to the dot.
* The time can be configured from between 30-120 seconds. Additionally, TwoFactor can be disabled completely.

Appendix #: Numbered Indicators
Oh look! It's just another widget.
Numbered Indicators
###
This indicator can have numbers instead of letters.
The backing of the indicators can also be different colors.
Use the following to convert the indicator to letters:
The first position is the first digit + 20.
The second position is the second digit + 10.
The third position is the third digit.
Add or subtract 26 to the number until it is in the range (1 - 26).
Convert the numbers to its corresponding alphabetical position.

Appendix BT
Appendix BT: Binary Tree Terms & Orderings
Terms:
A complete binary tree is a structure in which each node, except for the
nodes at the bottom layer, is directly connected to two other nodes under
it, called its children.
The root of the tree is the node at the top layer of the tree.
The left subtree of a node is the tree containing the node's left child, and
all of the child's children. The right subtree of a node is the tree
containing the node's right child, and all of the child's children.
An ordering of the tree visits each node in the tree exactly once in a
certain order.
Orderings:
Preorder: Starting at the root, rst visit the root, then visit all nodes in
its left subtree in preorder, then visit all nodes in its right subtree in
preorder.
Inorder: Starting at the root, rst visit all nodes in its left subtree
using inorder, then visit the root, then visit all nodes in its right
subtree using inorder.
Postorder: Starting at the root, rst visit all nodes in its left subtree in
postorder, then visit all nodes in its right subtree in postorder, then
visit the root.
Level Order: Like reading order. Start at the top row, then read all nodes
from left to right on each row.
For the Right-to-Left version of an ordering given above, read the
corresponding description above, but swap all occurrences of the word
"left" and "right".
